We now have two works on site called La gatta (The Cat).

One is La gatta first sung in 1960 by Gino Paoli who supposedly is also the author of the work as is stated on the single release and on one cover. However on some compilations of Gino Paoli's songs the work is presented as La gatta as written by Carlo Donida (Bacal) and Mogol.

I found three covers of the latter La gatta and they were all three credited to Bacal & Mogol.

When you listen to the performances I think it is clear we are talking about one work, but there is confusion.............

Does anyone have an explanation for this?

Thom,


Part of the answer is here:


http://www.hitparadeitalia.it/schede/g/gatta.htm


Googletranslated:

"Although not appearing in the credits of the time for SIAE reasons (the piece is signed Mogol-C.Bacal), the paternity of this small masterpiece of intimate poetry is entirely by Gino Paoli".


BTW Orchestra Bruno Stella version is not on the 1957 release Ritmi favoriti Italiani - Italian suosikkirytmejä 1


but on the next 1960 release: https://www.discogs.com/Bruno-Stellas-Italienska-Showorkester-Loppan/release/750…


JoJo greets

Thanks once more, Joop, and I have added the following comment to La gatta: At the time for unknown reasons at the Società italiana degli autori ed editori (SIAE) authorship of this work was credited to Carlo Donida (Bacal) and Mogol, however this work was entirely the work of Paoli. On many releases the Bacal/Mogol credits are still presented.

I do hope this will make it easier for future editors..........

Bedankt,

Thom

And I corrected the wrong release attribution, of course........
